From one of the most respected names in vegetarian cooking: a collection of creative, uncomplicated recipes for the new generation of vegans—and every cook who wants to introduce tasty, healthful dishes to everyday meals. Nava Atlas, a committed vegan, offers a cookbook packed with recipes that can be prepared in thirty to forty-five minutes. Covering every course, Vegan Express presents appealing soups and stews like Udon Noodle Soup with Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms; grain-and-bean-based recipes like Paella Vegetariana; Jambalaya Pasta and other noodle dishes; a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps, tortillas, pizzas, and main-course salads; and such delicious desserts as Caramel Pudding and Berry-Apple Skillet Crumble.

For vegetarians who have mainstream appetites (or who don't have time to search the specialty stores for exotic ingredients), this down-to-earth cookbook proves that meatless meals don't have to mean extra effort for the cook or unfamiliar, hard-to-prepare dishes. From sesame roasted eggplant dip to black bean burgers, over 200 award-winning recipes showcase a variety of delicious fare.

Steamed, roasted, or sautéed, vegetables are taking center stage. If you, like many others, are looking for a source of robustly savored, easy veggie meals, this is the book for you. Originally published in 2001, VEGGIE MEALS offers hearty soups, main-course salads, comforting risottos, pastas, and Italian vegetable entrées, make-your- own Asian take-out, and versatile snack suppers, among other delights. Served as entrées or in a combination of side dishes, these are nutritious, meat-free meals that your families, even the kids, will love. Recipes were selected by popular demand (Rachael’s fans are outspoken), and all meet Rachael’s criteria that ingredients be fresh, readily available, and quick to prepare. Some top crowd-pleasers: Pumpkin and Black Bean Soup, Grilled Vegetable Platter with Crumbled Ricotta Salata, earthy Porcini Risotto, and zesty Portobello Pizza Burgers. Eat well and often!

The author of "Almost Vegetarian" presents the one book that full-time and part-time vegetarians need on their shelves--a book that contains more than 600 contemporary low-fat recipes and invaluable nutritional and culinary information about the vegetarian way of life. 500 line drawings.

In nearly fifty personal stories, this book uncovers the motivations, concerns and life journeys of people who decided to become vegetarians. Some became vegetarians because of a life-changing relationship with a non-human animal, some because of a health crisis that led them to their new diet, others because of worries about the environmental consequences of meat consumption. This inspiring collection is ideal for anyone thinking of vegetarianism or wanting to reinforce their move to vegetarianism.

In JUMP UP AND KISS ME, Jennifer Trainer Thompson puts spice into vegetarian cuisine with nearly 200 full-flavored recipes for everything from vinegars (like Rosemary-Serrano Red Wine Vinegar) and condiments (like Curried Butter) to drinks (like the Ginger Cooler) and entr?©es (Poblano and Spinach Crepes). Recipes reflect a range of ethnic cuisines and are designed for vegetarians as well as the increasing number of people who just want to eat less meat. The author's line of foodstuffs (including a hot sauce) with the same name as the cookbook was introduced into gourmet markets last fall.
